Sarens PSG announced a £1.6 million investment to create a new Centre of Excellence in Aberdeen, along with 25 new jobs.

A £1.6 million centre for training wind farm workers will open in Aberdeen after it was confirmed that Great British Energy will be based in the city.

"Great British Energy's presence in Aberdeen, along with the £400 million South Harbour development and other major offshore wind initiatives, made Aberdeen the ideal location for our new Centre of Excellence. The offshore wind sector is a critical part of achieving our net-zero targets, but we've not been moving fast enough.

Mr Murray said: "We are already seeing the benefits of Great British Energy's HQ being in Aberdeen and this is more fantastic news for Aberdeen and the energy sector in Scotland. Sarens PSG creating new jobs focused on renewables will help towards the UK Government's target of ensuring that all electricity comes from zero-carbon generation by 2030.
